Here in the states, we usually have to make our own hard brake lines on older vehicles. Stainless is very hard to flare the ends properly and usually is only used on show cars. NiCop lines are what we use as it's rust resistant and easy to bend and flare the ends. Amazon even sells it in bulk rolls. I've made my own, tubing bender, tubing cutter and a double flare tool is all you need. End fitting kits are easily available.
I had to make my own brake lines on my old '99 Yukon as they rusted out on me from winter salt on the roads.

hi thanks repairman
we normally make them.too buy I did see a company.called Dorman.inthe states who show c1500 suburban premade kits but when you check closer it says they don't fit
I live.right beside the ocean and the ss kits appeals because of that
thanks for your reply
